 Day 2 (day 40, for me), at Deer Valley, after about 18" by opening on Saturday, this is Sunday looking back at the lift line on Mayflower/Orient Express.

Terrible crowds!

And all skied out!
Not bad for day 2!

A manly man!
That's what it has been like most of the year here before Saturday.
I'll post a review soon. Gotta get intoxicated first so it'll make sense.

Nice - I'm planning to go to the local resort for the first time on mine tomorrow. Do you run safety straps/leashes on your NNN-BC?

I know I've read about spwath putting a screw-in loop for leashes, but other than that I don't see evidence of anyone doing anything similar.
viewtopic.php?t=2286&start=10

I hear my local resorts don't really enforce the leash rule, so I'm not particularly worried about that - and I've never had a manual NNN-BC binding come out, either. I think either the binding - or my leg - would have to break first.

9.5 miles in under three hours today with a ton of turns. You don’t need a lot of snow or big mountains to have a great time. Big skis help though.

Blue hour, Lover's Leap, Morin-Heights, Québec... the 50cm we got a week ago is pretty heavily skied-out by now but there's still room to make some turns off to the side of the trails!

BALLS? Yea, it takes balls to ski with the bears.

I love you, too, bro...
:lol:

But, the question remains...
Were you happy on the Nansens?
I might “need” another ski...
